Open Source Tools, Carried Over Time
I'm Manuel Gil. I build and carry open source developer tools - extensions, libraries, and utilities. Some are active, some are slow, some are quiet. I remain responsible for what I publish.
What This Work Looks Like
I started teaching myself to code at a young age. Over the years that turned into building tools - mostly VSCode extensions, npm packages, and small utilities - that other developers started using.
Some of what I do now is maintenance - updating dependencies, fixing what breaks, keeping things compatible where I can. Not all projects get the same attention. Some are active, some are slow, some are carried quietly. I take responsibility for what I publish, but I don't offer support or guaranteed availability.
What I Carry
- â–¹VSCode extensions used by other developers
- â–¹Libraries and starter kits published over time
- â–¹Maintenance work when time and capacity allow
How I Work
- â–¹I use AI, forks, and messy workflows - but I review what ships
- â–¹I work alone on most of this, with limited time
- â–¹I prioritize keeping things stable over adding features
Projects
Extensions, libraries and small utilities I've built and kept around over the years - some still active, some archived, all of them still up.
All projects →Talks
I've spoken at events like CCOSS, FLISoL, and Nerdearla, mostly about open source and the tools I've built. I do it when I have something worth sharing, not on a schedule.

If these tools are useful to you and you want them to keep existing, you can help.
Sponsorship doesn't buy features, access, or priority. It helps offset the personal time and cost of carrying these tools forward.
